Score 7.0/10

Good points:

+ This is a good bottom end router, A damn site better than some of the other cheaply made stuff available.+ Netgear always craft decent firmware for their routers - It is rare that I find the router crashing or cutting off for long periods of time.+ The web interface is simple enough for a novice to use (with some instruction and a handy help bar on the right side of every page).

Bad points:

- This router does cut you off from the internet for a second or two when you change settings in the web interface - this won't be a problem for most as connection consistency on this level is not critical for day to day use/gaming.- This router does NOT support 100/1000 Lan, only 10/100 - Basically if you have a connection speed 50M/bit or higher opt for one of the slightly more expensive 100/1000 routers. In the UK this is a non-issue as this router only works with ADSL connections and to obtain a connection of 50 meg or higher you will need to use cable, which requires a different type of router altogether,
